The chicks will be here soon

It's Tuesday. The chicks might be hatching on Thursday.

DH got the brooder out of the loft today and cleaned & sterliised it.  It's sitting in the guest bedroom, on a table next to the Incubator table.  This is the most urgent thing as the chicks will go in there as soon as they are dry.  They will stay in there for a few days, depending on the weather,  before going out into the brooder in the shed.

DH also cleared the stuff from the shed and constructed the brooder pen.   The Electric Hen, fantastic thing it is,  has been retrieved from the loft, and is waiting to bedisinfected and tested.

We're almost ready!
